| I opened up a copy Asian Bride Magazine
|
| The lady inside was so white, was so clean
|
| The hairs on her arms could hardly be seen
|
| Thanks to L’Oreal’s skin and hair lightening cream
|
| If I bleached my skin and if I shaved my arms, I still wouldn’t look like no
|
| light-skinned Khan
|
| And as my dad used to say to my face
|
| «Aiyoh, Sasha, you look like an African» Was that just because of my baggy
|
| jeans?
|
| Or just because as I’d say «Dad, must be in the genes»?
|
| Or is it coz I’m tall and they’re all so small
|
| That I’d get called Nigga by Pakis hanging at the mall?
|
| Doctor, lawyer, dentist if you fail--
|
| Who’s gonna care for you when you become frail?
|
| Harvard, Berkeley, North London and Yale
|
| Get an education, marry someone pale!
|
| Pale, fair-- but not white
|
| A man who’s at least a half of your height
|
| Asian, yeah, but better not be dark Those deep dark browns only bring on the
|
| frowns
|
| Brown on the outside, white on the inside
|
| You’re just a coconut they turned into a bounty
|
| Brown on the outside, white on the inside
|
| You’re just a paki, but you’re cool on the flipside
|
| Brown on the outside, white on the inside
|
| You’re just a coconut they turned into a bounty
|
| Brown on the outside, white on the inside
|
| You stink of curry, but you’re cool on the flipside
|
| They don’t wanna see you coming home with white man
|
| They don’t wanna see you coming home with black man
|
| They don’t wanna see you coming home with any kind of man
|
| But if you came home with a woman, they wouldn’t be your biggest fan
|
| They just wanna see you hitched up with one of the clan
|
| If you put your wealth together then you’ll be much richer than
|
| The Patels round the corner and the Ratnasinghams
|
| «Anay baba get a job or you’ll never find a man!»
|
| No I ain’t Mingita, the pussy-eating paki--
|
| I just don’t give a shit about getting married
|
| Just coz I don’t shave my moustache, my eyebrows join together and my nose is
|
| large
|
| You lot think I’m unfit for marriage that all I can cook is frozen chicken
|
| nuggets
|
| That my life in the trailer park is somewhat savage
|
| And my mates are a bunch of dreaded homeless faggets
|
| Thank you, L’Oreal now there’s products for us
|
| Daily use gonna help us to pretend that we’re high-caste
|
| Bleach our skin, lighten our moustache
|
| Now L’Oreal are coming in on the march
|
| You know that they can smell the cash to be made
|
| On vain middle-class Asians who just love to bathe
|
| Arty-farty, you will become poor
|
| Eat, baba, eat in the kitchen there is more
|
| Degree, degree, hang it on the wall Brought you to this country,
|
| what happened to y’all?!
|
| Hymen, hymen, it better be intact Pappadum preach now I’m frying in the fat
|
| Achar, achar, hymen is intact
|
| I never used a tampon-- really that’s a fact |
